World Card Making Day Make and Mail

I spent a fair amount of time this weekend making cards in honor of World Card Making Day. This card is for a very cool challenge by My Favorite Things called the Make and Mail Challenge. I created this card with one of my favorite MFT stamp sets and I am mailing it out tomorrow to my Aunt JoAnn to celebrate her birthday.

I am also linking this card up to the Simon Says Stamp World Cardmaking Day link-up. Click HERE for more details.

Thanks for stopping by tonight. Did you make any cards this weekend?

World Card Making Day #3

This is the second card I made with this awesome sketch by Kristine Davidson for Jillibean  Soup today.

I am entering it in the Die Cuts Challenge. I just LOVE these Pea Pod Parts and this card just makes me smile. I think my granddaughter will like it too. Everything on the card except the cardstock and the little orange rhinestone is from Jillibean Soup.

I am also linking it up on the Simon Says Stamp World Card Making Day post that you can see

Well that is it for now...I must get to bed. But I have plenty more to share. I was a busy gal on Saturday.

World Card Making Day #2

I loved this sketch so much by Kristine Davidson for Jillibean Soup that I used it twice today (something I rarely do) to make cards for my granddaughters.....this is the first one I want to share. We had such a good time with them this summer that I miss them even more now that they are back home in Chicago. I made 6 cards today to celebrate World Card Making Day. This is the sketch I used:

World Card Making Day

I really enjoyed myself today....I set aside a large block of time today just for me and I sat and made cards for a good portion of that time. There are some awesome sketches, challenges, inspiration and prizes out there so after a couple of hours looking at and logging several challenges and blogs, I got busy. First up is this card I made for my brother-in-law's birthday later this month. I used this fabulous sketch from Kristine Davidson foe Jillibean Soup and all the products except for the cardstock and enamel dots are from my Jillibean Soup stash.

I am entering this card in the Sketch Challenge on the Jillibean Soup blog and over at Simon Says Stamps World Card Making Day blog post HERE.

Well that is it for this post but I made 8 cards in the last 24 hours so you can bet there are more posts to come.

Warm Wishes

I thought about and planned out this card in my head all day at work today. I saw this sketch at

Little Tangles and the wheels in my head start turning.

I used one of my older but favorite Neat and Tangled stamps and heat embossed the image/sentiment in silver on navy card stock. I dry embossed a sheet of foiled cardstock with some snowflakes. I wish it photographed better...this card is really shiny. I took the color combination from the

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 425 to use Navy Silver and White

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Christmas Challenge

Well, hockey season has started and my team is on and playing a very exciting game and I do not want to miss any of it.  Thank you for stopping by my blog.

Somebunny

Our adorable niece Rosie is turning 3 next week. I just love these MFT bunnies and thought she might like them too on her birthday card. This is the first time I used these sweet little bunnies. I bought them from a crafter online who was de-stashing her craft room. They came with the matching dies but were the older style closed dies. I must admit to watching a few You Tube videos on how to line the closed dies up. It is a bit tricky but I think I got the hang of it. These images are not die cut perfectly but I am sure little Rosie will never notice.

I am entering this card in 2 challenges:

Darnell's NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuf) challenge

and

the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by....have a wonderful rest of the week.

I Love Cacti

I absolutely love succulents and cacti and have several scattered around my home. I also have found that I love to color these sweet little stamps that I recently purchased (and used for the first time) from My Favorite Things. I used their sketch from this week and am entering their

Sketch Challenge.

Since I used some Never Before Used Schtuff, I am entering this card in Darnell's NBUS Challenge

One final challenge I am entering is the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge.

Well that is it for tonight....it has been a very sad, emotional day and I need to go to bed. Thanks for stopping by.
